Failed to run task sequence. Error 80040103 1. We have reset the password of SMSDEPLOY and set it up in SCCM.(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632397.aspx) 3. Delete everything and reconfigure Vista Deployment. Using Windows-noob instruction. But still get same error messages. http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/512-how-can-i-deploy-windows-vista-sp1-using-sccm-2007-sp1/ 5. I search Technet about 80040103 error, most of them related to permission problem. But permission on my computer seems no problem. 6. PXE client reboot after show "Failed run task sequence." Message is: This task sequence cannot be run because the program files for SKY0001D are inaccessible on the distribution point. Please make sure that the packages are available, and the distribution points are accessible, and the appropriate network access account is configured if needed.

have you verified if the content mentioned is actually on the dp ? check the package status for the following package Content location request for SKY0001D:2 failed. (Code 0x80040103 My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

The Package with PackageID SKY0001D is a BootImage or another Package? Only Boot Images should sit on the PXE Distribution Point and also on the Standard Distribution Point. All other Packages referenced in the OSD Task Sequence must be on the Standard DP and NOT on the PXE DP.

Package status is installed. SKY0001D is a bootimage. I tried x86 and x64 bootimage, both show same error.

and the password for the network access account specified in Site Management => Site Settings => Client Agents => Computer Client Agent is correct and the account is not locked in AD? Is a firewall in place on the distribution point?

and the password for the network access account specified in Site Management => Site Settings => Client Agents => Computer Client Agent is correct and the account is not locked in AD? Is a firewall in place on the distribution point?

I amhaving the same problem and my firewall is turned off... I verified my client account is not locked out and the password is correct. Any ideas???

Hi, This TS cannot be run because the Program files for "%PackageID%" are inaccessible in the Distribution point. Please make sure that the Packages are available and the DP are accessible. You may also refresh the network account by clearing it and setting up the account.

Hi Wally, First verify your have actually distributed and updated the distribution point for that package (SKY0001D). If it is updated and distributed then your network drivers are required in boot.wim. Then check the Network Access Account is created and status is not locked. Check the PXE Certificate in the SCCM console. Verify that the Root CA is trusted. Alternatively, reset the expiration date. Also check whether GetHostByName Failed, set the FQDN name. Hope this will help. Thanks

Thnaks, everyone. The problem was cause by permission issues. I use SMSdeploy (Default account) in Site Management => Site Settings => Client Agents => Computer Client Agent, but for some reason this account do not have permission to access network share. I reset SMSdeploy password and account was not locked, but no luck. After I changed it to use SMSadmin, PXE client go to next step to format hard disk now. Thanks again....................................
